Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 433 Classic Reappearance
As a sea dragon monster, the Flame Dragon has a slender body. Judging from the data, it is almost half the size of this Shattered Dragon. With its body wrapped around the Shattered Dragon, it tightly constricted the Shattered Dragon's body. If it hadn't raised its two front claws in front of its body to resist and leave a gap in the throat, it would probably have been strangled unconscious very soon.

The situation became tense for a moment, but the Flame Dragon was clearly dissatisfied with this. It coiled around the Shattered Dragon, twisted its body, and aimed its head at the Shattered Dragon's throat, suddenly opening its mouth to bite down.

However, this Broken Dragon was clearly a monster with considerable combat experience, and it was always careful to protect its vitals. The moment the Flame Dragon opened its mouth, it had already extended a front claw and pressed it against the Flame Dragon's neck, preventing it from advancing any further.

The Flame Dragon opened and closed its mouth, but could only get a mouthful of air. The futile attempt only weakened the body of the Shattered Dragon. Noticing this, the Shattered Dragon seized the opportunity and suddenly exerted force with its front claws that were pressing against the Flame Dragon's neck, directly pinning it to the ground.

Without the slightest pause, the Shattered Dragon, like an experienced boxer, unleashed a powerful and accurate punch with its free left forepaw, slamming it into the Flame Dragon's forehead, making it see stars.

That wasn't all. Before the Flame Dragon could recover, the Shattered Dragon tilted its head back forcefully and slammed it down with a heavy headbutt.

"Ow!"

The Shattered Dragon's fists were powerful and fierce, and its headbutts, enhanced by its "airplane head" shaped skull, were equally devastating. The Flame Dragon roared in pain, realizing that it seemed to have no advantage in close combat, and quickly changed tactics, swaying and moving its body to create distance between itself and the Shattered Dragon.

If close combat doesn't work, then let's try ranged attacks!
Yangolong took a deep breath, preparing to unleash the magma stored within its body to attack its opponent. However, it failed to notice that as it inhaled, the slime that had just adhered to its body during the battle had changed from a bright green to a dangerous orange-red.

"laugh--"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Almost at the same time as the magma breath was exhaled, three violent explosions erupted from its body in succession. The powerful impact of the explosions caused its body to tilt, making it unable to resist the recoil of the magma breath. This caused the crimson ray to scatter everywhere, bombarding the hanging rock pillars above its head and shoveling through the ground in front of the Shattered Dragon, but it failed to hit the Shattered Dragon that was waiting in full battle array as it had hoped.

"Oh!"

The Flame Dragon swayed unsteadily, its eyes and mouth twisted from the blast. Even its magma armor, which, once cooled down, was strong enough to withstand most attacks, couldn't protect it from the violent explosion, leaving it with large wounds all over its body.

However, this was, after all, a large monster over 25 meters long with a very strong vitality. Although the explosion had hurt it quite a bit, it eventually shook its head and recovered.

(To salvage the reputation of the Ragnaros: It is said that the Ragnaros that was killed in the Ragnaros CG was not fully developed, and a creature that can burrow in lava can be killed by two explosions. No matter what, it is still a bit outrageous.)

The Shattered Dragon wanted to give chase, but the Flame Dragon's gaze was now filled with apprehension. Knowing that this guy was not to be trifled with, it suddenly leaped up, dodging the Shattered Dragon's fist and using the jump to successfully burrow underground.

Seeing his opponent repeat the same trick, Shattered Dragon stopped in his tracks and cautiously looked around to avoid being entangled and bound again. After waiting quietly for a moment, the tremors on the ground quickly subsided, and he could no longer feel any movement. Only then did Shattered Dragon realize that his opponent had seen that things were not going well and had simply fled.

This infuriated it. It had intended to give the bullshit a good beating, but the bullshit had run away after only two punches, leaving it with little chance to vent its anger. Looking around and confirming that the Flame Dragon wouldn't return, the Shattered Dragon could only unleash its fury on several large rocks nearby, repeatedly swinging its heavy fists until they shattered into a pile of pebbles. Only then did it let out a long roar, proclaiming its victorious status.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a strange sensation came from its body, as if something had hit it. The roar of the Shattered Dragon paused slightly, and it turned its head to look at the base of its tail from which the sensation came. A pool of pink liquid with a pungent smell came into view. It was a smell that was not unfamiliar to it.

Startled for a moment, the Broken Dragon suddenly looked up and, sure enough, saw the large black bat flying overhead once again.

The shattered dragon suddenly roared, its anger, which it had just managed to vent, surged up again. After all, if its opponent didn't land, it really couldn't do anything to it while it was flying in the sky.

You cowardly bastard who's shitting in the sky! Get down here and die right now!
However, to its surprise, the creature that had previously cowered in the sky actually swooped down and charged straight at it this time.

This surprised the Broken Dragon, who let out an excited roar, leaped forward, and raised his fist to meet the attack.

It's just a Black Devouring Dragon, right? Watch me push it back with my fist!
This time, however, it miscalculated.

Unlike the monsters it had encountered before, which would only charge in recklessly and be beaten senseless by its explosive punches, Jumpy had learned about the Shattered Dragon from Lin Lin long ago and was already prepared for its punches.

Just as it was about to collide with the Shattered Dragon, Jumpy suddenly flapped its wings, halting its dive. Lin Lin, sitting on its back, watched helplessly as the Shattered Dragon, fist raised, swept past beneath it. Its eyes went from excitement to confusion, and then to overwhelming rage upon landing.

The dragon never imagined that it would be tricked by the same dragon twice in a row. Without wings, it flew in an arc and crashed heavily to the ground.

Jumpy flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air, just within the range that the Broken Dragon could barely reach when it jumped.

Since its fierce battle with the Golden Lion, Jumpy's size hasn't changed as noticeably as it did with Armored Dragon, but according to some rough tests, its strength and reaction speed seem to have increased to some extent.

According to Sophia's speculation, Jumpy's molting is likely a process of quantitative change accumulating into qualitative change. The previous battles with another Black Eclipse Dragon and the Ultimate Thousand Blade Dragon were like this. At that time, there were no obvious changes, but after the energy was replenished and several more battles were fought, it led to the first molting. If it wants to continue to molt, it still needs to fight more to gain experience.

This dragon capture operation is a rare opportunity to fight against a powerful opponent.

Therefore, after noticing the explosion caused by the Shattered Dragon, Lin Lin and Tiao Tiao rushed over to fight the Shattered Dragon and tried to exhaust its stamina while ensuring their own safety. Meanwhile, Ye Zi and the two cats arrived on foot with Sophia to officially begin the capture operation.
